Electromagnetic Emission and Orbital Evolution of Eccentric Supermassive Black Hole Binaries in Retrograde Disks

David ONeill, Mark J. Avara, Christopher Tiede +3

Circumbinary disks around supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are expected to form across a broad range of inclinations, with retrograde configurations potentially a common o…

Supermassive black hole binaries in the multi-messenger context of ground and spaceborne VLBI

B. Hudson, L. I. Gurvits, D. J. D'Orazio +3

Evidence of a gravitational wave background suggests the existence of a population of sub-parsec supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs), with characteristic angular separations…

Dynamics and detectability of long-lived non-accretion phases for massive black hole binaries in cold, thermally regulating disks

Christopher Tiede, David O'Neill, Daniel J. D'Orazio

We investigate whether the non-accreting phases found in thin, locally isothermal circumbinary disks survive when the disk thermodynamics are evolved self-consistently. We present…

Prospects of resolving and localising individual supermassive black hole binaries with pulsar timing arrays: the host ranking challenge

Niccolò Veronesi, Maria Charisi, Polina Petrov +5

Pulsar Timing Arrays (PTAs) are soon expected to detect individually resolved supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries, opening the possibility for multi-messenger discoveries. The…

Insights from Analytical Theory of Eccentric Circumbinary Disks II. Forced Modes and Resonance for Precessing Binaries

Marcela Grcic, Daniel J. D'Orazio, Martin E. Pessah

An eccentric, unequal-mass binary induces forced eccentricity in a circumbinary disk through the non-axisymmetric component of its gravitational potential. Building on the theory o…

Plato's view on supermassive black hole binaries: Exploring the faint limit of ESA's Plato space mission

Nicholas Jannsen, Pablo Huijse, Kevin Park +3

The search for supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) has, in recent years, seen the dawn of exploration with several hundred candidates claimed from photometric and spectroscop…
